This main-door, freehold flat sits on a quiet cobbled New Town street and benefits from private access to Queen Street Gardens — a rare and highly desirable local privilege. The apartment occupies a generous 1,585 sqft across an elegant multi-storey layout, with high ceilings, large sash windows, decorative cornicing and original period details that give rooms a strong sense of scale and light.
The accommodation includes three double bedrooms and two bathrooms, arranged for flexible living and scope for sympathetic development if desired. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and the location places cafés, shops, cultural venues and transport within easy walking distance — Waverley Station is around 15 minutes on foot.
Buyers should note material considerations: council tax is listed as expensive and the wider area classification records pockets of deprivation and a strong student/commuter presence, which can bring increased footfall and local activity. The EPC sits at C; the flat is sold as needing selective updating to suit modern preferences while retaining its period character.
Offered approximately £75,000 below valuation, the property presents a clear pricing advantage for buyers seeking a spacious, characterful home or a high-demand central Edinburgh investment with private garden access and development potential.
